A Fall from Grace, and His Rise from Disgrace

Unwanted Reunion

Izuku walked through class 1A's door quietly.

He was greeted by Iida, who was always the first to arrive every morning.

"Ah, Mask! It is good to see you on time!" He said.

Izuku nodded.

"Hey there Iida. Are you doing alright?" He asked.

The hero Ingenium, Iida's older brother, had been attacked by the Hero Killer Stain during the final event of the Sports Festival.

Izuku received a tight lipped smile in reply.

"I am alright Mask. If this is about my brother then rest assured, he will make a full recovery!" The taller boy exclaimed.

Izuku sat down at his desk, silently awaiting homeroom.

Shoto was the next to class, laying his head down on his desk and dozing off. Everyone else trickled into the classroom as the minutes ticked by until Dadzawa himself opened the door and stepped through. Bakugo ignored Izuku, staring straight ahead, the golden medal hanging from his clenched teeth.

"Alright, we've got a couple things to get through this morning. Mask, you can do your whole introduction reveal thing during the first activity. Principal Nezu wants to see you once that is over. Now, today we will be doing some hero informatics."

  Kaminari groaned.

  "Not another pop quiz!" He groaned. Mina's forehead thumped onto the table.

  "You'll be choosing hero names." Aizawa said deadpan.

  Chaos ensued.

_________________

  Izuku's classmates had come up with a lot of good names. Uravity was his favourite, and no, he wasn't being biased. Pinky, Tentacole, Creati, Froppy and Chargebolt were some of the good ones.

  'King/Lord Explosion Murder' was terrible, as was I Can Not Stop Twinkling, which was shortened to Can't stop Twinkling.

  Iida and Shoto didn't choose codenames, they just went with their given names.

  Izuku was the last to go to the front.

  The Altered Hero: Mask.

  Izuku reached up and tugged the metal plate from his face, a small smile gracing his lips.

  "It's nice to finally meet you all face to face. My name is Izuku Midoriya, but feel free to keep calling me Mask." He signed.

  There were a few wide eyed stares, some small gasps, and a few concerned gazes.

  "M-Mask... What happened?" Kaminari asked.

  "I was attacked by a villain. You don't need to worry, they were properly dealt with, and I don't feel any pain anymore." He signed.

  Bakugo's eye twitched, but Izuku just ignored him. Shoto sent a smug smirk in the blonde's direction from the back of the room.

  "Even with an injury like that, you still want to be a hero... You're so Manly dude!!" Kirishima almost cried.

  Izuku slipped his mask back on, running his tongue along his torn cheek.

  "Any more questions?"

  "Did the same villain take your arm?" Yayorozu asked. Izuku just nodded.

  "How'd you get your metal arm?" Sero asked.

  "UA built it for me. One of the teachers is my parent." He signed.

  "Alright, that's enough for now. Mask, Uraraka, Yagi. You three are wanted in the Principal's office. Those two dunderheads are up to their stupid crap again." The hero sighed, opening the door.
